Coronation Street - December 1977

[@EveEve5]

Rewatched these episodes as 1977 is a better place to be than 2021.

[@paulfrost8895]

Your sure telling me ' thing is I didn 't appreciate the time back then ' wish I had now.

[@lindarowe8550]

For sure. I have stopped watching it now

[@beneire6955]

I was 10 in 1977,happy times

[@paulinecook9157]

Totally agree ❤

[@welshlad6427]

By far. 2023 getting even worse.

[@christinefougere]

Jean Alexander was absolutely brilliant. Thank God she chose to share her talent with us. Wonderful, wonderful. She makes me laugh so much the tears roll down my face.

[@jstewart3517]

Jean is in days of summer wine she runs the antique shop ❤😊

[@bethshields4903]

She was brilliant in corrie. Best character ever.

Oh, the memories, the characters, the strories and Boxing Day with the Oggies. Could we possibly ask for more? Cheers chuck for the upload!

[@lindarowe8550]

Hilda is absolutely brilliant

[@spartybrearly7221]

Hilda, Stan and Eddie should have had their own spin-off show.

[@sharonallen7343]

I can remember whatching this with my lovely mum when I just started my first job coming home to a lovely dinner cupa x corries oh the good old days I must be getting older myself

[@sharonallen7343]

Thank you

[@Alan-ss3xp]

Beautiful memories.

[@Chillmax]

I watched this as a child when I stayed at my Grandma's, we didn't watch it at my house. I remember her knitting needles clicking away as I sat next to her on the velvet settee, and on a good night, you'd hear her getting some sweets or chocolate out from her secret hiding place, which she'd bring in a crystal bowl to share, my Grandad sat reading his paper, commenting on something funny. She was a cross between Annie Walker & Hilda Ogden, if you can imagine that, how I wish I could go back. We are indeed getting older, I don't think it would be so bad, if so much hadn't changed and been lost, these people, attitudes and cosy lives do still exist, but in such tiny numbers, it is almost just a memory now, so that is what we must do, remember.

[@algie-t2w]

Yes Sharon, I have similar memories only it was with my beloved big sister. Time passes and memories can also bring such sadness of people we've lost.

[@andywright3450]

Love it proper cornation street not that rubbish whats on now 💯💯💯

[@paulfrost8895]

I can hardly relate to the modern Corrie ' never really followed since I came back from a few year stint in the States in 1990 ' with a few exceptional storylines few and far between ' just isn 't the same as it was when I was growing up ' it lost that sparkle and comedy ' community feel it once had.

[@standamoza]

77 must be the best Christmas show that i have seen. Such talent and laughter.

[@nitad4203]

These episodes are just brilliant! Thanks so much :-)

[@shylinh5939]

Yeah, they're wonderful, I'm very grateful for these episodes. I appreciate them more now than I did when I started watching last year, I know the characters better now. The writing and most of the performances were consistently good, sometimes excellent. Johnny Briggs, RIP, as Mike Baldwin was always first class. Pity about Gail and Susie, they were never anything but irritating, and Gail just carried on.

[@annoldham3018]

Love the unseen character of 19 Inkerman Street. 🥰

[@carologden7640]

Oooh hilda your name haunts me to this day with my last name being ogden but very proud now to habe that nickname ❤

[@katy4779]

I'll enjoy this, thankyou so much!

[@kylie-mareebaldwin4672]

Greetings from the land of Oz, give over you mean Australia. Now I have never watched a soap before, but I am addicted to Corrie, any roads, I want say this was real TV, the good old days. How are you, I'm poorly at present with pneumonia but I'll be okay, no danger. I'll watch Corrie repeats and murder cups of tea. Hilda, Stan and Eddie are my favourites and our Brian is sexy. So Torah to you all and thank you.

[@memoir4you]

I loved the community centre line up ! Hilda , Eddie , Ivy & Rita were fab. Oh & Bet ha ha.

[@connielincoln8681]

Ivy had a lovely voice

[@johnrider3749]

Coronation street was worth watching back in those days today it's full of dull boring character's and depressing storyline s written by people who have had a sense of humour bypass,,

[@gilliangrant8764]

Albert Tatlock was very comical in the last episode. Sneaking past Emily Bishop in the shop with the turkey under his coat had me literally laughing out loud!

[@paulfrost8895]

Sadly Emily 's life was about to be turned upside down ' this was just before Ernie was killed in the robbery.

[@annoldham3018]

I just love Albert to bits!

I met rita once talk about snooty she forgets us viewers keep her in work

[@ZowieBBowie]

Stirring it you mean.

[@stevenhighams4190]

I've always wondered why they changed Ivy's character when they brought her in full-time and made her into such a miserable individual. They should have kept her as she was.

[@pauline6189]

[@joegee6434]

Ivy was a good singer

[@cherylreznor181]

Except when she went on gmtv in the 90s but she was drunk lol

I didn't think Brits said 'cheating on' someone way-back-when, but Fred Gee just said it in the shop, I thought it wa a relatively recent import from the States, obviously not!

Elsie's cape style of coats are only missing a deerstalker hat and perhaps a magnifying glass and curly pipe. Elementary my dear Elsie!

i couldnt then and i still cant now...stand Gail

[@bsaunders5271]

On one hand I want to think badly of Derek for being a gutless swine, backing out of the house deal with Mavis. But on the other hand, I find Mavis and her pathetic dithering absolutely maddening. So all things considered, Mavis can go tickle.

[@elterrifico9522]

Love those old fashion booze ups. Len really worked that punch.

[@paulfrost8895]

He gets him back in the next episode ' in the Rovers ' then they both get a grilling from Mrs Walker.

Who’s idea was it to have the dartboard in front of the cellar door!?

[@TheMeeja]

It's not just the cellar door... It's the gents! And also, if you study the layout of the buildings, that gents door opens right in to Albert Tatlock's kitchen. Which goes a long way to explain why he was a grumpy old goat!

[@spartybrearly7221]

It's nice how Grenada let the actors and actresses show off their other talents, bar Rita, I am sorry but she can't sing 🤣

[@shylinh5939]

I get the whole club singer backstory with Rita, but she really couldn't sing, not the kind that anyone would pay to hear, anyway. As for Granada allowing the cast to show their other talents, I wonder if Ivy Tilsley ever got to sing, because I read somewhere that the actress who played her was an accomplished singer.
